GasGas goes EnduroGP racing in 2021
GasGas is to "further expand" its global racing activities by taking on the FIM Enduro World Championship in 2021, together with Andrea Verona.
"Leading GasGas Factory Racing into the EnduroGP series, the Italian has his sights set firmly on retaining his Enduro1 title on GasGas EC 250F machinery while also challenging the established stars of the overall EnduroGP class.
Together with Taddy Blazusiak, who will handle business in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, Verona will complete a formidable two-rider line-up".
Jumping into the world Enduro scene back in 2017, Verona made an immediate impact by capturing the Youth 125 cc Enduro World Championship crown in his first full season of international racing. One year later, the youngster topped the 2018 FIM ISDE Junior World Trophy competition together with lifting the J1 Enduro World Cup title.
More recently, and following a rapid rise through the Enduro ranks, Verona claimed the 2020 Enduro E1 World Championship title at just 21 years old! Winning five of the eight days of racing that formed last year’s series, he also secured third overall in the EnduroGP category. He was originally set to compete for KTM Italy in 2021 before getting the call-up from GasGas Factory Racing.
